The Bounds Authenticity podcast. Let's talk about the language of the subconscious. It will be a brief talk since this topic, while widely unknown and unspoken about, is really quite simple. Many are being misled by the personal development industry, pop psychologists and New age gurus and even the Little John What Okay to believe that the only way the subconscious can be programmed is through repetition. That is only one way, and in this particular case, the hardest way.
Therefore, what they are saying is that you must use affirmations statements beginning with I am or I will in a repetitive manner until you feel good. Some like hypnotherapists, even believe that afformations will work, and afformation is a statement phrase to like why am I getting healthier every day? But these really don't work well, if at all. And here's why. The subconscious is very specific. It needs to understand a feeling in order to take it on board
as a linguistic possibility for you. So, if a person doesn't feel good enough, repetitively clapping your hands and jumping up and down in front of a mirror trying to stimulate the feeling of being good enough, while reciting I am enough won't work because that's not what your subconscious believes. And quite frankly, your subconscious has no intention of ever changing that information until you speak to it
the way it wants to be spoken to. The subconscious in this instance is looking for a clear yes or a clear no. In fact, the statement that your subconscious is looking for ends with a yes or a no. That is, I am enough, comma yes, or I am enough comma no, I am safe, comma yes, I am safe, comma no. I often wonder why this simple part is left out, but it takes me down a dark path of thinking. Perhaps they want to keep people on a
perpetual hamster wheel of buying bullshit. I have never gotten the impression that the people in charge of these rackets want to lose customers. So most of the information out there appears to be diluted. Don't even let me get started on how everything that becomes public knowledge was first cooked up in a think tank. That's probably an episode for another time. So let's go through that one again
and add a little more to it. The law of reversed effect states that you cannot consciously will subconscious information to be changed subconscious instructions must be changed at the subconscious level using mechanisms only it understands what that means. Is this. If you're having issues loving yourself, affirming I love myself is not going to change the program, because every single time you affirm I love myself, the
subconscious will override I love myself with whatever statement it believes. I love myself, Comma no. And every single time you say I am enough, the subconscious will go, uhh, that's not what's here. I am enough, Comma no. If you say I am safe one hundred times every morning, each time the subconscious will say, nuh that's not what's here. I have no knowledge or understanding of what that feels like. Therefore I am safe, Comma no. Let's say this one more time. The subconscious has to understand
a feeling. When you suggest it to yourself to write the program I am safe no into your subconscious, you would have felt what it was like, and your nervous system understood what it feels like, and that coded it into your consciousness. Does that make sense? If you want more joy, to be accepted, to forgive, to be respected, to be worthy of God's love, or to be free from anger. Then the language the subconscious understands would be as follows. I understand what it feels like to have joy.
I understand what it feels like to be accepted. I understand what it feels like to forgive, or I understand what it feels like to forgive myself, depending on what your situation is. I understand what it feels like to be completely respected. I understand what it feels like to be worthy of God's love. I know how to live without being angry. The understanding of what it feels like is critical because oftentimes people have come from an environment where they've never
felt joy or true forgiveness or respect or whatever it is. Therefore, there has never been any emotional example to model, and your nervous system, being the home of the subconscious, has no clue how to act. The reason why a statement may begin with I know how to or I know it's possible is just the same. You've never had an example of it, so how could you know it. If you didn't know how to cook, you would need examples to get you started. It's the same for the subconscious. Also
note here that every program you have is serving you in some way. Being negative or positive, and many people subconsciously need their anger or any other emotion for a reason. It's protection, its familiarity, it's safety, It's about getting a particular outcome. Remember that, as a rule, everything we do is based on a reward system in our brains. It's important to understand that
beliefs are like tables with four legs. Before changing the statement, you have to know what is propping the table up in the first place, Otherwise the program will reinstall itself after a while. Some people only know how to be angry and they can't live without it because anger motivated them through a tough time and now they need it. Many people are motivated by conflict. Many people
get off on regret, resentment, and even rejection. They don't understand what it feels like to release resentment, to accept themselves fully, or to be free of regret, And they certainly don't understand what it feels like to live without regret, resentment, rejection, shame, guilt, or sadness. If I am working with the victim of abuse or molestation, I will always make
sure to change the victim programs. So I will check for the statement I am a victim, Yes, change it to a no and replace the major belief system that I am a power in my life. It is important to note here that the trauma narrative is incredibly disempowering. People who have overcome trauma don't actually believe in trauma. After it has been changed. They release it
and move on. The nervous system forgets it isn't something they hold on to, and they are definitely not looking for more trauma to resolve again unless they are still running the program I am a victim, yes, and they don't know what it feels like to live life without being a victim. Once you begin to release the programs of victimhood from your life, you will automatically let go of traumatic events and become empowered in your life to where nothing will damage
you again. It's a thing that very few people are really doing because they are carrying the victim programming through lifetimes. This world is all about trauma based mind control by design, and it is one of the main reasons why we are taught that we must all have childhood trauma as well as constantly bombarded with imagery through the media and TV, because our conscious mind is being bypassed and subconsciously we are being conditioned to live in fear of empowerment, fear of knowing
what it feels like to be free. Now there are a few more components involved, in a few more ways that beliefs are phrased. I just wanted to give you a basic understanding here of how affirmations often fail because of the difference in the language that the subconscious takes on. I will make another episode soon about beliefs to fill in the gaps. Over the decade I have been doing this work, I have found that most people need additional help to fully
understand and master the process of belief work. I am willing to help you do just that. So tell me if there's anything in your life that you would change, what would it be.
